TuIAHoMA, TENN, May IT,
We were pleasantly surprised few
days ago by "A call from THE NEWS. and
an invitation TO return it by letter. We
judge il To be a generous, charitable,
public spirited. clean journal, and II will
always be welcome up here in our Ten
nessee home. We are interested i'm Flor
ida as well as Tennessee, and think the
two together make up complete year.
Florida for winter and Tennessee for
summer. The climate here il all that
but If November, December and January,
of the last winter was fair sample, are
changeable aad disagreeable. The sum
mer months are particularly delightful.
The forests are so varied, and the grand
old oaks spread their branches far out
and their heavy dark foliage is a COM
rlete protection from wind and rain,
while the chestnut gem OF trees, reaches
up, up, while it carries your
thoughts heavenward, and its pale
delicate green, notched and pointed leaf,
waves gracefully in the slightest breeze,
and wheE the bur comes, looking more
like cushion of moss than anything
else, the beauty of tree is complete.
There is such rarity Of resorts i'm Ten
nessee that all tastes and requirements
can be met. For those who seek change,
rest, healthful water, and cultivation at
the same time, Monteagle cannot be ex-
celled for climate, water acoommoda-
tions, and her assembly follows close
after Chautauqua i'm point of merit.
Eminent men and women, teachers and
speakers add their charm 10 the gather
ing. Lookout Mountain is the place for
those, young or old, i'll or well, who
want free easy do-as-you-please good
time with the the greatest scenery inn =
aginable. You can join with the crowd
and be gay, or you can have your cot
tage and take your meals at the hotel.
and be as exclusive and quiet as you
like. For the gay pleasure seeker, Tui-
lahoma furnishes elegant hotel accom-
modations and plenty of society. Nash
vile, Chattanooga and New Orleans, from
dread of sickness, flock 10 the pure
healthful air of Tullahoma in entire fam
lilies, and not few Floridians take ad-
vantage of the delightful summer CHI
mate of Tennessee.
There are places without number I'm
this locality where there are water falls,
caves, cascades, springs, nooIcAand rocky
rippling streams where one can drink

life and energy for the years work. The
DeCorzelins House, and Hurricane Hall,
of Tullahoma, the hotel at Hurricane
Springs, about five miles from here, and
the hotel at Cascade Falls, about the
same distance, are under one manage
ment and entertain large numbers from
the first of June to the end Of Septem-
ber. You cannot go amiss for "A charm
ing spot TO spend the hot months. Choose
a mountain peak, far above the level of
the sea, and you find IL here; or the
plateau air, free from the dampness OF
the low lands, or too rare quality of the
more elevated, and IL is here; or a quiet,
shaded valley near some falls whose
waters are touched by the finger OF God,
and make music for you day and night,
and you have il.
There is not only the visiting income,
but the State Is being rapidly filled up
with permanent settlers from North,
South. East and West, and the one thing
she lacks to give her an unmistakable
upward march-money Money In the
hands of men who will use IL for the
good of the masses and not TO enrich
few, and enslave and trample the
many. Money is the key that will un-
lock the endless beds OF coal and iron.
and the marble banks, and set in motion
the water power, whose value is beyond
estimate, cultivate her rich river lands
and open ways to her rare retreats for
health and rest for the multitudes who
seek such places I'm summer time, and
nowhere find the equal of Tennessee.
The North and South are growing closer
and closer together and the old prejudice
rapidly dying out, for which we are
glad.
With a wish for long life and large
circulation for THE NEWS, and unex-
pected prosperity for the beautiful city
Of Palatka, am truly, yours,
MRS j. X. PRESTON.
